80% of my work is on wooden frames,i have zero or very few problems with
any windows that have well maintained frames or georgian or leaded
windows.

if i have any problems at all its normallyduring autumn or just after
when all sorts ofcrap gets blown onto frames,also larger pieces
of glass can be a issue.

if in doubt at all when i have finished wfp'ing windows i stick a squeegee
on a pole and give a basic drying of glass,takes seconds..end of problem

Well said. I can't believe more people won't entertain this idea.
Maybe because it's so unprofessional  ::)roll.

What I want to know Ben is this, are you really a window cleaner or have you only been doing it for 5 minutes,   
because  if you dont know what your  doing, you really should"nt be  telling me, and others what my 40ft pole is worth.         should you!

I've been doing the windows of a restaurant for a few years. The downstairs is done trad but the 1st floor I do wfp and it's large Victorian sized wooden sash windows.

I've tried cleaning them every which way, and due to location they cannot be done trad off a ladder, but some weeks they still spot badly. I've never worked out why and the place has had several paints jobs so it's not the paint.

With the windows I mentioned above, I see the results the next morning. I clean the outside glass the evening before as it's impossible during the day and the next day I clean the insides so I see the results.

How many posting here actually see the results of cleaning wooden sash windows?

Also, I don't want to sound rude but I do this job every week. Over a period of years, I tried every different way of cleaning and rinsing but randomly, some windows spot.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.
